What are you playing now?

I am still playing pathfinder: Kingmaker

How is that game? Was going to get it on GoG on Cyber Monday - but the reviews on the site mention that the game's heavily unbalanced - and in some regards "broken" because of it.

I am not really an expert on RPG, for me some battles are difficult, some are easy. There are some random events and things like that, which make it interesting.
I wouldn't be able to tell you if things are unbalanced, as I don't know what properly balanced is.

I finished Resident Evil 5 the other night. Not quite as charming and terrifying as 4, but I still enjoy the B-movie camp of the series. Feels more like an arcade rail-shooter than a survival horror, though. But despite hearsay, I'm still excited to play the next one since 6 is the one game in the series I know nothing about.

I'm partaking in the annual masochism tango called AIVD Christmas Puzzle.

I've finished Gold Rush! In one day even!

I think it's one of the best AGI endings...

Hey, no fair! I was working on it first!

In one day? I can scarcely finish LSL1 EGA in one day, and that is the EASIEST Sierra game.

Of course, it's because there's too much shiny that often distracts me from finishing anything...

[BBP]

It does get tricky on occasion with all the random deaths was fun seeing it again!

I started RE6, but quit after three levels. It's not a terrible game, but the lack of a pause function, the mixed-up campaigns, and the constant floods of zombies felt really unbalanced compared to the last two entries. I didn't have the mental energy to keep up with that one.

I'll be starting "Dragon Age Inquisition" eventually, but for now, I'm jumping into "Shardlight" for some point-n-click goodness. I really like what I see so far. The gorgeous pixel art on the menu screen alone had me re-thinking my own sprite work.

Naaahhh KQ6 is! I timed myself years ago and finished it in 45 minutes! But that was clicking through all the text boxes and storyline videos.

I speedplayed GK3 in one day, took me 7 hours. Played all the cutscenes too!

[Jules]

Wow that is quite the accomplishment!!

KQ6 has way too many traveling back and forth between the islands. Climbing the cliffs alone can take 45 minutes when Alexander is going "Whoa!" over and over again.

Now that gives me an interesting mental image ... a wormhole opens in KQ6 and deposits Salim from QfG3, along with his hookah, which he presents to Alexander. Alexander tokes and tokes and tokes ...

That puts a different inflection on the "Whoa!", and might also be an alternate explanation as to why Alexander talks to animals (and how he does it).

"Whoa, a guard on the palace who's a talkin' dog! Cool!!"

[Jules]

Haha very true, Tawm! After falling so many times on the cliffs, I found a way to position the crown cursor on the next stone to have it line up and not fall off and it worked!

Lol, Rath, hey I think you're on to something!

Smash Bros Ultimate. Bought it on New Year's Eve and have been enjoying it ever since. Managed to get it brand new sealed from a guy selling it privately for $70 (retail is $79.96 and after tax it's $90.36). So exchanged some gift card money for that and used another gift card to get the Nintendo Switch Online service so I could play with brother who lives in Texas and my sister. Having a great time with that.
